                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 2001

                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE  1  -  BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION
-----------------------------------

The  financial  statements  presented  herein  are  prepared  in conformity with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States for interim
financial  reporting  and  the  instructions  for preparing Form 10-Q under Rule
10-01  of  Regulation  S-X  of  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission and are
unaudited.  As  such,  these financial statements do not include all information
and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted
in  the  United  States  for complete financial statements and, accordingly, the
accompanying  financial  statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with the
footnotes  presented  in  the  2000  Annual Report.  Except as disclosed herein,
there  has been no material change to the information presented in the footnotes
to  the  2000  Annual  Report.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal and
recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary  to  present fairly the financial
position  at  June  30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and results of operations for
the  three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 have been made and
are reflected.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 are not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Certain  amounts  previously  reported  in  the  December  31,  2000  financial
statements  have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2001 presentation.

NOTE  2  -  CASH  EQUIVALENTS  AND  INVESTMENT  SECURITIES
----------------------------------------------------------

AFG  Investment  Trust  A  (the "Trust") considers all highly liquid investments
with  an  original  maturity  of  three  months  or less to be cash equivalents.
Investment  securities consist of equity securities and debt securities that are
classified  as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
participants'  capital.  The  amortized  cost of debt securities is adjusted for
amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of  discounts  to  maturity.  Such
amortization  and  accretion are included in interest income on the accompanying
Statement  of  Operations.

At  June  30,  2001,  the Trust had $467,073 invested in federal agency discount
notes, repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S.
Government  securities,  or  other  highly  liquid  overnight  investments.

NOTE  3  -  REVENUE  RECOGNITION
--------------------------------

Rents  are  payable  to  the  Trust  monthly,  quarterly or semi-annually and no
significant  amounts  are  calculated on factors other than the passage of time.
The  leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable.  Rents
received prior to their due dates are deferred.  In certain instances, the Trust
may  enter primary-term, renewal or re-lease agreements, which expire beyond the
Trust's  anticipated  dissolution  date.  This  circumstance  is not expected to
prevent  the  orderly wind-up of the Trust's business activities as the Managing
Trustee  and  the Advisor would seek to sell the then-remaining equipment assets
either  to  the lessee or to a third party, taking into consideration the amount
of  future  noncancellable  rental  payments associated with the attendant lease
agreements.  Future  minimum  rents  of  $578,984  are  due  as  follows:

                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

                                  JUNE 30, 2001

                                   (UNAUDITED)



In  June  2001,  the  Trust  and  certain  affiliated  investment  programs
(collectively,  the  "Reno  Programs")  executed  an agreement with the existing
lessee,  Reno  Air,  Inc.  ("Reno"), to early terminate the lease of a McDonnell
Douglas  MD-87  aircraft that had been scheduled to expire in January 2003.  The
Reno  Programs  received  an  early termination fee of $840,000 and a payment of
$400,000  for  certain  maintenance required under the existing lease agreement.
The Trust's share of the early termination fee was $74,424, which was recognized
as  lease  revenue  during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and its share of
the  maintenance  payment  was  $35,440,  which  was  accrued  as  a maintenance
obligation at June 30, 2001.  Coincident with the termination of the Reno lease,
the  aircraft  was  re-leased  to Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. for a term of
four  years.  The  Reno Programs will receive rents of $6,240,000 over the lease
term,  of  which  the  Trust's  share  is  $552,864.


NOTE  4  -  EQUIPMENT
---------------------

The  following  is  a  summary of equipment owned by the Trust at June 30, 2001.
Remaining  Lease  Term  (Months), as used below, represents the number of months
remaining  from June 30, 2001 under contracted lease terms and is presented as a
range  when  more  than one lease agreement is contained in the stated equipment
category.  A  Remaining  Lease Term equal to zero reflects equipment either held
for  sale or re-lease or being leased on a month-to-month basis.  In the opinion
of  Equis  Financial  Group Limited Partnership ("EFG"), the acquisition cost of
the  equipment  did  not  exceed  its  fair  market  value.

</TABLE>


At  June  30,  2001, the Trust's equipment portfolio included equipment having a
proportionate  original  cost  of  approximately  $1,476,000,  representing
approximately  59%  of  total  equipment  cost.

Certain  of  the equipment and related lease payment streams were used to secure
the  Trust's loan with a third- party lender. The preceding summary of equipment
includes leveraged equipment having an original cost of approximately $1,240,000
and  a  net  book value of approximately $930,000 at June 30, 2001 (see Note 9).

At  June  30,  2001,  the  cost  of fully depreciated equipment held for sale or
re-lease  was  approximately  $239,000. The Managing Trustee is actively seeking
the  sale  or  re-lease of all equipment not on lease.  In addition, the summary

NOTE  5  -  MARKETABLE  SECURITIES  -  AFFILIATE AND NOTE RECEIVABLE - AFFILIATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As  a  result  of  an  exchange transaction in 1997, the Trust is the beneficial
owner  of 20,969 shares of Semele Group Inc. ("Semele") common stock and holds a
beneficial  interest in a note from Semele (the "Semele Note") of $462,353.  The
Semele  Note matures in April 2003 and bears an annual interest rate of 10% with
mandatory  principal reductions prior to maturity, if and to the extent that net
proceeds  are  received  by Semele from the sale or refinancing of its principal
real  estate  asset  consisting  of  an undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land near
Malibu,  California.  The Trust recognized interest income of $22,928 related to
the  Semele Note for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting  for  Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", marketable
equity  securities  classified  as available-for-sale are carried at fair value.
At  March 31, 2001, the Trust determined that the decline in the market value of
its  Semele common stock was other than temporary.  As a result, the Trust wrote
down  the cost of the Semele common stock to $3.3125 per share (the quoted price
of  the  Semele stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market on the date the stock traded
closest  to  March  31, 2001), for a total realized loss in the six months ended
June  30,  2001  of  $17,037.

During  the  three  months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust decreased the carrying
value  of  its  investment in Semele common stock to $3.00 per share (the quoted
price  of  the  Semele stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market on the date the stock
traded  closest  to  June  30, 2001), resulting in an unrealized loss of $6,553.
This loss was reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss) included in
the  Statement  of  Changes  in  Participants'  Capital.

NOTE  6  -  INTEREST  IN  EFG  KIRKWOOD
---------------------------------------

On  May  1,  1999,  the  Trust  and  three  affiliated  trusts (collectively the
"Trusts")  and Semele formed a joint venture, EFG Kirkwood LLC ("EFG Kirkwood"),
for  the  purpose  of acquiring preferred and common stock interests in Kirkwood
Associates  Inc.  ("KAI").  The Trusts purchased Class A membership interests in
EFG  Kirkwood and Semele purchased Class B membership interests in EFG Kirkwood.
Generally,  the  Class  A  interest  holders  are  entitled to certain preferred
returns  prior  to  distribution  payments  to  the Class B interest holder. The
Trusts collectively own 100% of the Class A membership interests in EFG Kirkwood
and  Semele owns 100% of the Class B membership interests. The Trusts' interests
in EFG Kirkwood constitute 50% of the voting securities of that entity under the
operating  agreement for the LLC, which gives equal voting rights to Class A and
Class  B  membership  interests.  The  Managing  Trustee  is  the manager of EFG
Kirkwood.

On April 30, 2000, KAI's ownership interests in certain assets and substantially
all  of  its  liabilities  were  transferred  to  Mountain  Resort  Holdings LLC
("Mountain  Resort").  On  May  1,  2000, EFG Kirkwood exchanged its interest in
KAI's common and preferred stock for corresponding pro-rata membership interests
in  Mountain  Resort.  EFG  Kirkwood holds approximately 37.9% of the membership
interests  in  Mountain  Resort.  Mountain  Resort,  through  four  wholly owned
subsidiaries,  owns  and  operates  the  Kirkwood  Mountain Resort, a ski resort
located  in  northern  California,  a  public  utility  that  services the local
community, and land that is held for residential and commercial development. The
Trust holds a 9.3% membership interest in EFG Kirkwood and correspondingly holds
10%  of  EFG  Kirkwood's  Class  A  voting  rights.

Subsequent  to  making  its  ownership interest in Mountain Resort, EFG Kirkwood
acquired  50%  of  the  membership  interests  in  Mountain  Springs Resorts LLC
("Mountain  Springs"). Mountain Springs, through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns
80%  of  the  common  stock and 100% of the Class B Preferred stock in an entity
that  owns  the  Purgatory  Ski  resort  in  Durango,  Colorado.

                                        9
<PAGE>
The Trust's ownership interest in EFG Kirkwood had an original cost of $998,539;
including  a  1%  acquisition  fee  ($9,887)  paid to EFG. The Trust's ownership
interest  in  EFG  Kirkwood  is accounted for on the equity method and the Trust
recorded income of $206,195 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, representing
its  pro-rata  share  of  the  net  income  of  EFG  Kirkwood.

NOTE  7  -  INTEREST  IN  MILPI
-------------------------------

In  December  2000,  the  Trust  and  three affiliated Trusts (collectively, the
"Trusts")  formed  MILPI Holdings, LLC ("MILPI"), which formed MILPI Acquisition
Corp.  ("MILPI  Acquisition"),  a  wholly  owned subsidiary of MILPI. The Trusts
collectively paid $1.2 million for their membership interests in MILPI and MILPI
purchased  the  shares  of  MILPI Acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of
$1.2  million  at December 31, 2000. MILPI Acquisition entered into a definitive
agreement  (the  "Agreement") with PLM International, Inc. ("PLM"), an equipment
leasing and asset management company, for the purpose of acquiring up to 100% of
the  outstanding  common  stock of PLM, for an approximate purchase price of $27
million.  In  connection  with  the  acquisition,  on  December  29, 2000, MILPI
Acquisition  commenced  a  tender  offer  to  purchase  any  and  all  of  PLM's
outstanding  common  stock.

Pursuant  to the cash tender offer, MILPI Acquisition acquired approximately 83%
of  the  PLM  common  stock  in  February  2001  for  a  total purchase price of
approximately $21.7 million. Under the terms of the Agreement, with the approval
of  the  holders  of  50.1%  of  the  outstanding  common  stock  of  PLM, MILPI
Acquisition  will merge into PLM, with PLM being the surviving entity. PLM filed
a  proxy  statement  with  the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
February 9, 2001 for a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the merger
proposal.  Because  MILPI  Acquisition  owns approximately 83% of the PLM common
stock,  its  vote alone would be sufficient to assure the approval of the merger
proposal  at  the special meeting and MILPI has agreed to vote all of its shares
in  favor  of the merger proposal. Once the merger is approved, the Trusts would
then  jointly own 100% of the outstanding common stock of PLM through their 100%
interest  in  MILPI.  However, completion of the SEC staff's review of the proxy
statement  for  approval  of the merger is dependent in part on the satisfactory
resolution  of  the  Trust's  discussions  with the staff regarding its possible
status  as  an  inadvertent  investment  company. If the merger is approved, the
Trusts  may  be  required  to  provide an additional $4.4 million to acquire the
remaining  approximate  17%  of  PLM's  outstanding  common  stock.

The  Trust  has  a  10%  membership interest in MILPI having an original cost of
$2,274,348.  The  cost  of  the  Trust's  interest  in  MILPI  reflects  MILPI
Acquisition's  cost  of  acquiring the common stock of PLM, including the amount
paid  for  the  shares  tendered  of  $2,177,572, a 1% acquisition fee paid to a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Semele of $21,776 and capitalized transaction costs
of  $75,000.  The  capitalized transaction costs will be reimbursed by the Trust
to  MILPI  and  are  included  in  Accrued  Liabilities  -  Affiliates  on  the
accompanying Statement of Financial Position at June 30, 2001.  During the three
months ended June 30, 2001, the Trusts obtained additional information to refine
the estimate of fair values of the underlying net assets of MILPI as of February
9,  2001.  The  Trust's  cost  basis  in its interest in MILPI was approximately
$105,000  greater than its equity interest in the underlying net assets of MILPI
at  February  9,  2001.  This  difference  is being amortized over a period of 7
years  beginning March 1, 2001. The amount amortized is included as an offset to
Interest  in  MILPI  and  was  $4,556 during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Equis  II  Corporation  has  voting  control of the Trusts and owns the Managing
Trustee  of  the  Trusts.  Semele  owns  Equis II Corporation. Mr. Engle and Mr.
Coyne,  who  are  a director and an officer of the Trust, respectively, are also
officers  and  directors  of, and own significant stock in, Semele. In addition,
Mr.  Engle  and  Mr.  Coyne  are  officers  and  directors of MILPI Acquisition.

The  Trust's  ownership  interest in MILPI is accounted for on the equity method
and  the  Trust recorded income of $21,082 and $32,370, respectively, during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, representing its pro-rata share of the
income  of  MILPI.

NOTE  8  -  RELATED  PARTY  TRANSACTIONS
----------------------------------------

All  operating  expenses  incurred by the Trust are paid by EFG on behalf of the
Trust  and EFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such expenditures.  Fees and
other  costs incurred during the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
which  were  paid  or  accrued  by  the  Trust  to EFG or its Affiliates, are as
follows:

All  rents  and  proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to either
EFG  or  to  a  lender.  EFG  temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate
interest-bearing  escrow  account prior to remittance to the Trust.  At June 30,
2001, the Trust was owed $35,601 by EFG for such funds and the interest thereon.
These  funds  were  remitted  to  the  Trust  in  July  2001.


NOTE  9  -  NOTE  PAYABLE
-------------------------

Notes  payable  at  June  30,  2001 consisted of an installment note of $471,038
payable  to an institutional lender.    The installment note is non-recourse and
is  collateralized  by the Trust's interest in an aircraft leased to Aerovias de
Mexico,  S.A.  de  C.V.  and  the assignment of the related lease payments.  The
Trust  makes  monthly  debt  and  interest  payments  and the debt will be fully
amortized  at  the  expiration  of  the  related  lease  term  in  June  2005.

In  June  2001,  the  Trust  and  certain  affiliated  investment  programs
(collectively,  the  "Reno  Programs")  executed  an agreement with the existing
lessee,  Reno  Air,  Inc.  ("Reno"), to early terminate the lease of a McDonnell
Douglas  MD-87  aircraft  that  had  been  scheduled  to expire in January 2003.
Coincident with the termination of the Reno lease, the aircraft was re-leased to
Aerovias  de  Mexico,  S.A.  de  C.V.  for  a term of four years.  (See Note 3 -
Revenue  Recognition).  The  Reno  Programs executed a debt agreement with a new
lender  collateralized by the aircraft and assignment of the Aerovias de Mexico,
S.A.  de  C.V.  lease  payments.  The  Reno  Programs  received debt proceeds of
$5,316,482,  of  which  the  Trust's share was $471,038.  The Trust used the new
debt  proceeds  and  a  portion of certain other receipts from Reno to repay the
outstanding  balance  of  the  existing  indebtedness related to the aircraft of
$493,137  and accrued interest and fees of $7,347.  The new indebtedness bears a
fluctuating  interest rate based on LIBOR (approximately 4.73% at June 30, 2001)
plus  2.3%.

Management  believes  that  the carrying amount of the note payable approximates
fair  value  at  June  30, 2001 based on its experience and understanding of the
market  for  instruments  with  similar  terms.

NOTE  10  -  GUARANTEE  AGREEMENT
---------------------------------

On  March  8,  2000,  the  Trust  and three affiliated trusts (collectively, the
"Trusts")  entered  into  a  guarantee agreement whereby the Trusts, jointly and
severally,  have  guaranteed  the  payment  obligations  under  a  master  lease
agreement  between  Echelon Commercial LLC, a newly-formed Delaware company that
is controlled by Gary D. Engle, President and Chief Executive Officer of EFG, as
lessee,  and Heller Affordable Housing of Florida, Inc., and two other entities,
as lessor ("Heller"). The lease payments of Echelon Commercial LLC to Heller are
supported  by  lease payments to Echelon Commercial LLC from various sub-lessees
who  are parties to commercial and residential lease agreements under the master
lease  agreement.  The guarantee of lease payments by the Trusts was capped at a
maximum  of  $34,500,000, excluding expenses that could result in the event that
Echelon Commercial LLC experiences a default under the terms of the master lease
agreement.

As  a result of principal reductions on the average guarantee amount, an amended
and  restated  agreement  was  entered  into  in December 2000, that reduced the
guaranteed  amount among the Trusts. At June 30, 2001, the Trust was responsible
for  7%  of  the  current  guaranteed  amount  of  $7,000,000,  or  $490,000. In
consideration  for its guarantee, the Trust will receive an annualized fee equal
to  4% of the average guarantee amount outstanding during each quarterly period.
Accrued  but  unpaid  fees  will  accrue  and  compound interest quarterly at an
annualized  interest  rate  of  7.5%  until paid. The Trust will receive minimum
aggregate  fees  for its guarantee of not less than $70,000, excluding interest.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recognized income of $9,719
related  to  the  guarantee fee.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Trust  received  an  upfront  cash fee of $35,000 and recognized total income of
$41,172  from  the  guarantee. The guarantee fee is reflected as Other Income on
the  accompanying  Statement  of  Operations.


NOTE  11  -  CONTINGENCIES
--------------------------

The  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940  (the  "Act") places restrictions on the
capital  structure  and  business activities of companies registered thereunder.
The  Trust  has  active  business operations in the financial services industry,
primarily  equipment  leasing,  and  in  the  real  estate  industry through its
interest  in  EFG  Kirkwood.  The  Trust does not intend to engage in investment
activities  in a manner or to an extent that would require the Trust to register
as  an  investment company under the Act. However, it is possible that the Trust
may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to
fall within the scope of the Act. The Managing Trustee is engaged in discussions
with  the  staff  of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding whether or
not  the  Trust may be an inadvertent investment company by virtue of its recent
acquisition  activities. The Managing Trustee has consulted counsel and believes
that  the Trust is not an investment company.  If the Trust was determined to be
an investment company, its business would be adversely affected.  The Act, among
other  things,  prohibits  an  unregistered  investment  company  from  offering
securities  for  sale  or  engaging  in any business or interstate commerce.  If
necessary,  the  Trust  intends  to  avoid being deemed an investment company by
disposing  of or acquiring certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose of
or  acquire.

NOTE  12  -  OPERATING  SEGMENTS
--------------------------------

The Trust has two principal operating segments: 1) Equipment Leasing and 2) Real
Estate  Ownership,  Development  &  Management.  The  Equipment  Leasing segment
includes the management of the Trust's equipment lease portfolio and the Trust's
interest in MILPI. MILPI owns MILPI Acquisition which owns the majority interest
in PLM, an equipment leasing and asset management company (see Note 7). The Real
Estate  segment includes the ownership, management and development of commercial
properties,  recreational  properties,  condominiums,  interval ownership units,
townhomes,  single  family  homes  and  land sales through the Trust's ownership
interest  in  EFG  Kirkwood.

The  Trust's  reportable  segments  offer different products or services and are
managed  separately  because  each  requires  different operating strategies and
management  expertise.  There  are  no material intersegment sales or transfers.

Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is
summarized  below.

Results  of  Operations
-----------------------

Equipment  Leasing
------------------

For  the  three  and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recognized
lease  revenue  of $141,118 and $227,505, respectively, compared to $211,709 and
$397,665,  respectively, for same periods in 2000. The decrease in lease revenue
from 2000 to 2001 resulted primarily from lease term expirations and the sale of
equipment.    Future lease term expirations and equipment sales will result in a
reduction  in  the  lease  revenue  recognized.

The Trust's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Trust holds
a  proportionate ownership interest.  In such cases, the remaining interests are
owned  by  an  affiliated  equipment  leasing  program  sponsored  by  EFG.
Proportionate  equipment  ownership  enables  the Trust to further diversify its
equipment  portfolio  by  participating  in  the  ownership  of selected assets,
thereby  reducing  the  general  levels  of  risk,  which  could  result  from a
concentration  in  any single equipment type, industry or lessee.  The Trust and
each  affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective ownership
interests,  their  respective  shares  of  assets,  liabilities,  revenues,  and
expenses  associated  with  the  equipment.

In  June  2001,  the  Trust  and  certain  affiliated  investment  programs
(collectively,  the  "Reno  Programs")  executed  an agreement with the existing
lessee,  Reno  Air,  Inc.  ("Reno"), to early terminate the lease of a McDonnell
Douglas  MD-87  aircraft that had been scheduled to expire in January 2003.  The
Reno  Programs  received  an  early termination fee of $840,000 and a payment of
$400,000  for  certain  maintenance required under the existing lease agreement.
The Trust's share of the early termination fee was $74,424, which was recognized
as  lease  revenue  during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and its share of
the  maintenance  payment  was  $35,440,  which  was  accrued  as  a maintenance
obligation at June 30, 2001.  Coincident with the termination of the Reno lease,
the  aircraft  was  re-leased to Aerovias de Mexico, S.A., de C.V. for a term of
four  years.  The  Reno Programs will receive rents of $6,240,000 over the lease
term,  of  which  the  Trust's  share  is  $552,864.

Interest  income  for  the  three  and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was
$21,922  and  $54,668,  respectively,  compared  to  $48,165  and  $93,669,
respectively,  for  the  same  periods  in  2000.  Interest  income is typically
generated  from  temporary  investment  of  rental  receipts and equipment sales
proceeds  in  short-term  instruments.  The  amount of future interest income is
expected  to  fluctuate as a result of changing interest rates and the amount of
cash  available  for  investment,  among other factors. Interest income included
$11,527  and $22,928, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended
June  30,  2001  and 2000, earned on a note receivable from Semele (See Note 5).

During  the  three  and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust sold equipment
having  a  net  book  value  of  $34,619  and $48,619, respectively, to existing
lessees  and  third  parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement  purposes,  of  $375  and  $24,616,  respectively.

During  the  three  and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Trust sold equipment
having  a net book value of $1,087,754 and $1,130,895, respectively, to existing
lessees  and  third  parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement  purposes,  of  $320,745  and  $366,925,  respectively.

It  cannot  be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net
gain or a net loss to the Trust, as such transactions will be dependent upon the
condition  and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of
sale.  In  addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial statement
purposes  is  partly  a  function  of  the  amount  of  accumulated depreciation
associated  with  the  equipment  being  sold.

                                       14

The  ultimate  realization  of  residual  value  for  any  type  of equipment is
dependent  upon  many  factors,  including  EFG's  ability  to sell and re-lease
equipment.  Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and  many  other  events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any  given  time.  EFG  attempts  to  monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities  which  may  be  advantageous to the Trust and which will maximize
total  cash  returns  for  each  asset.

The  total  economic  value  realized  upon  final  disposition of each asset is
comprised  of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together
with its residual value.  The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's  sale  in  addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis.  The Trust classifies such
residual  rental payments as lease revenue.  Consequently, the amount of gain or
loss  reported  in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the
total  residual  value  the  Trust  achieved  from  leasing  the  equipment.

During  the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Trust sold investment securities
having  a  book  value  of $32,132, resulting in a gain, for financial statement
purposes  of  $21,520.

On March 8, 2000, the Trust and three affiliated trusts entered into a guarantee
agreement  whereby  the  trusts,  jointly  and severally, guaranteed the payment
obligations  under  a  master lease agreement between Echelon Commercial LLC, as
lessee,  and Heller Affordable Housing of Florida, Inc., and two other entities,
as  lessor.  (See  Note 10.)  In consideration for its guarantee, the Trust will
receive  an  annualized  fee  equal  to  4%  of  the  average  guarantee  amount
outstanding  during  each  quarterly period. Accrued but unpaid fees will accrue
and  compound  interest  quarterly  at an annualized interest rate of 7.5% until
paid.  During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recognized income of
$9,719 related to the guarantee fee.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000,
the Trust received an upfront cash fee of $35,000 and recognized total income of
$41,172  from  the  guarantee. The guarantee fee is reflected as Other Income on
the  accompanying  Statement  of  Operations.

Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was
$24,396  and  $50,614,  respectively,  compared  to  $48,467  and  $137,931,
respectively,  for  the same periods in 2000.  For financial reporting purposes,
to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Trust depreciates
the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual
value  of  the  asset  on a straight-line basis over such term.  For purposes of
this  policy,  estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values
at  the  date  of primary lease expiration.  To the extent that an asset is held
beyond  its  primary lease term, the Trust continues to depreciate the remaining
net  book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining
economic  life.

Interest  expense  was  $1,299  and $11,321, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to $11,800 and $23,758, respectively,
for the same periods in 2000.  Interest expense will continue to decrease in the
future  as  the  principal  balance  of  the note payable is reduced through the
application  of  rent  receipts  to  outstanding  debt.

Management  fees  related  to  equipment  leasing  were  $6,878  and  $11,020,
respectively,  for  the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared
to  $12,452 and $22,856, respectively, for the same periods in 2000.  Management
fees are based on 5% of gross lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2%
of  gross  lease  revenue  generated  by  full payout leases, subject to certain
limitations.  In  addition,  management  fees include a fee of 1% of the cost of
the  MILPI  interests.

                                       15
<PAGE>
Operating  expenses  were $193,437 and $352,364, respectively, for the three and
six  month  periods  ended  June  30,  2001  compared  to $129,912 and $191,243,
respectively,  for  the  same  periods  in  2000.  In  2001,  operating expenses
included  approximately  $40,000  for ongoing legal matters.  Operating expenses
also  included  approximately  $31,000 of costs reimbursed to EFG as a result of
the  successful  acquisition  of  the  PLM common stock by MILPI Acquisition and
approximately  $56,000  of  cost  related to the re-lease of an aircraft in June
2001.    In conjunction with the acquisition of the PLM common stock, EFG became
entitled  to  recover  certain  out  of  pocket expenses which it had previously
incurred.  Other operating expenses consist primarily of administrative charges,
professional  service  costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution  and  remarketing expenses. The amount of future operating expenses
cannot  be  predicted  with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher
during  the  acquisition  and liquidation phases of a trust.  Other fluctuations
typically  occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities.

At  March 31, 2001, the Trust determined that the decline in the market value of
its  Semele  Group  Inc. ("Semele") common stock was other than temporary.  As a
result,  the Trust wrote down the cost of the Semele common stock to $3.3125 per
share (the quoted price of the Semele stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market on the
date  the  stock traded closest to March 31, 2001), for a total realized loss in
the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2001  of  $17,037.

During  the  three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recorded income
of  $21,082  and  $32,370,  respectively,  from its ownership interest in MILPI.
This  income  represents  the  Trust's share of the net income of MILPI recorded
under  the  equity  method of accounting.  The Trust recorded $3,742 and $4,556,
respectively,  of  amortization  expense for the three and six months ended June
30,  2001, which related to the goodwill recorded at the time of the acquisition
of  the  PLM  common  stock  by  MILPI  Acquisition.  (See  Note  7.)


Real  Estate
------------

Management  fees for non-equipment assets were $8,024 and $13,748, respectively,
for  the  three  and  six  months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $155 and $798,
respectively,  for  the  same periods in 2000. Management fees for non-equipment
assets,  excluding  cash,  are  1%  of  such  assets  under  management.

For  the  three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recorded a loss of
$134,626  and  income  of $206,195, respectively, from its ownership interest in
EFG  Kirkwood. This income (loss) represents the Trust's share of the net income
(loss)  of  EFG  Kirkwood recorded under the equity method of accounting. Due to
the  seasonal  nature of EFG Kirkwood's operations, the financial results of the
three  and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 may not be indicative of future
periods  (See  Note  6).


NOTE  12  -  NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS
--------------------------------------------

In  June  2001,  the  Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business  Combinations",  and  SFAS  No.  142,  "Goodwill  and Other Intangible
Assets",  (collectively  the  "Statements") effective for fiscal years beginning
after  December  15,  2001.  Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets
deemed  to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject
to  annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.  Other intangible
assets  will  continue  to  be  amortized  over  their  useful  lives.

The  Trust  will  apply  the  new  rules  on  accounting  for goodwill and other
intangible  assets  beginning  in the first quarter of 2002.  Application of the
nonamortization provisions of Statements is not anticipated to have an impact on
the Trust's financial statements.  During 2002, the Trust will perform the first
of  the  required  impairment  tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these
tests  will  be  on  the  earnings  and  financial  position  of  the  Trust.

                         PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of  Operations.
---------------

Certain  statements  in  this  quarterly  report  of AFG Investment Trust A (the
"Trust")  that  are  not historical fact constitute "forward-looking statements"
within  the  meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
are  subject  to  a  variety  of risks and uncertainties.  There are a number of
important  factors  that  could  cause  actual results to differ materially from
those  expressed  in  any  forward-looking statements made herein. These factors
include, but are not limited to, the collection of the Trust's contracted rents,
the  realization of residual proceeds for the Trust's equipment, the performance
of  the  Trust's  non-equipment  assets  and  future  economic  conditions.

The  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940  (the  "Act") places restrictions on the
capital  structure  and  business activities of companies registered thereunder.
The  Trust  has  active  business operations in the financial services industry,
primarily  equipment  leasing,  and  in  the  real  estate  industry through its
interest  in  EFG  Kirkwood  LLC  ("EFG Kirkwood"). The Trust does not intend to
engage  in  investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require
the  Trust  to  register  as an investment company under the Act. However, it is
possible  that the Trust may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities
that  may be construed to fall within the scope of the Act. The Managing Trustee
is  engaged  in  discussions  with  the  staff  of  the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  regarding  whether or not the Trust may be an inadvertent investment
company by virtue of its recent acquisition activities. The Managing Trustee has
consulted  counsel and believes that the Trust is not an investment company.  If
the  Trust  was  determined  to  be an investment company, its business would be
adversely  affected.  The  Act,  among  other  things, prohibits an unregistered
investment company from offering securities for sale or engaging in any business
or  interstate  commerce.  If necessary, the Trust intends to avoid being deemed
an  investment company by disposing of or acquiring certain assets that it might
not  otherwise  dispose  of  or  acquire.


Segment  Reporting
------------------

The Trust has two principal operating segments: 1) Equipment Leasing and 2) Real
Estate  Ownership,  Development  &  Management.  The  Equipment  Leasing segment
includes the management of the Trust's equipment lease portfolio and the Trust's
interest  in MILPI Holdings, LLC ("MILPI").  MILPI owns MILPI Acquisition Corp.,
("MILPI  Acquisition")  which  owns  the majority interest in PLM International,
Inc., ("PLM") an equipment leasing and asset management company. The Real Estate
segment  includes  the  ownership,  management  and  development  of  commercial
properties,  recreational  properties,  condominiums,  interval ownership units,
townhomes,  single  family  homes  and  land sales through the Trust's ownership
interest  in  EFG  Kirkwood.

The  Trust's  reportable  segments  offer different products or services and are
managed  separately  because  each  requires  different operating strategies and
management  expertise.  There  are  no material intersegment sales or transfers.

                                       17

Three  and  six  months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three and six months
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ended  June  30,  2000:
-----------------------

Results  of  Operations
-----------------------

Equipment  Leasing
------------------

For  the  three  and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recognized
lease  revenue  of $141,118 and $227,505, respectively, compared to $211,709 and
$397,665,  respectively, for same periods in 2000. The decrease in lease revenue
from 2000 to 2001 resulted primarily from lease term expirations and the sale of
equipment.    Future lease term expirations and equipment sales will result in a
reduction  in  the  lease  revenue  recognized.

The Trust's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Trust holds
a  proportionate ownership interest.  In such cases, the remaining interests are
owned  by  an  affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by Equis Financial
Group  Limited  Partnership  ("EFG").  Proportionate equipment ownership enables
the  Trust  to further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the
ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk, which
could  result  from  a  concentration  in any single equipment type, industry or
lessee.  The  Trust  and  each  affiliate  individually report, in proportion to
their  respective  ownership  interests,  their  respective  shares  of  assets,
liabilities,  revenues,  and  expenses  associated  with  the  equipment.

                                       18
<PAGE>
In  June  2001,  the  Trust  and  certain  affiliated  investment  programs
(collectively,  the  "Reno  Programs")  executed  an agreement with the existing
lessee,  Reno  Air,  Inc.  ("Reno"), to early terminate the lease of a McDonnell
Douglas  MD-87  aircraft that had been scheduled to expire in January 2003.  The
Reno  Programs  received  an  early termination fee of $840,000 and a payment of
$400,000  for  certain  maintenance required under the existing lease agreement.
The Trust's share of the early termination fee was $74,424, which was recognized
as  lease  revenue  during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and its share of
the  maintenance  payment  was  $35,440,  which  was  accrued  as  a maintenance
obligation at June 30, 2001.  Coincident with the termination of the Reno lease,
the  aircraft  was  re-leased to Aerovias de Mexico, S.A., de C.V. for a term of
four  years.  The  Reno Programs will receive rents of $6,240,000 over the lease
term,  of  which  the  Trust's  share  is  $552,864.

Interest  income  for  the  three  and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was
$21,922  and  $54,668,  respectively,  compared  to  $48,165  and  $93,669,
respectively,  for  the  same  periods  in  2000.  Interest  income is typically
generated  from  temporary  investment  of  rental  receipts and equipment sales
proceeds  in  short-term  instruments.  The  amount of future interest income is
expected  to  fluctuate as a result of changing interest rates and the amount of
cash  available  for  investment,  among other factors. Interest income included
$11,527  and $22,928, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended
June  30,  2001 and 2000, earned on a note receivable from Semele (See Note 5 to
the  financial  statements).

During  the  three  and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust sold equipment
having  a  net  book  value  of  $34,619  and $48,619, respectively, to existing
lessees  and  third  parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement  purposes,  of  $375  and  $24,616,  respectively.

During  the  three  and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Trust sold equipment
having  a net book value of $1,087,754 and $1,130,895, respectively, to existing
lessees  and  third  parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement  purposes,  of  $320,745  and  $366,925,  respectively.

It  cannot  be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net
gain or a net loss to the Trust, as such transactions will be dependent upon the
condition  and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of
sale.  In  addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial statement
purposes  is  partly  a  function  of  the  amount  of  accumulated depreciation
associated  with  the  equipment  being  sold.

The  ultimate  realization  of  residual  value  for  any  type  of equipment is
dependent  upon  many  factors,  including  EFG's  ability  to sell and re-lease
equipment.  Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and  many  other  events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any  given  time.  EFG  attempts  to  monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities  which  may  be  advantageous to the Trust and which will maximize
total  cash  returns  for  each  asset.

The  total  economic  value  realized  upon  final  disposition of each asset is
comprised  of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together
with its residual value.  The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's  sale  in  addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis.  The Trust classifies such
residual  rental payments as lease revenue.  Consequently, the amount of gain or
loss  reported  in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the
total  residual  value  the  Trust  achieved  from  leasing  the  equipment.

During  the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Trust sold investment securities
having  a  book  value  of $32,132, resulting in a gain, for financial statement
purposes  of  $21,520.

On March 8, 2000, the Trust and three affiliated trusts entered into a guarantee
agreement  whereby  the  trusts,  jointly  and severally, guaranteed the payment
obligations  under  a  master lease agreement between Echelon Commercial LLC, as
lessee,  and Heller Affordable Housing of Florida, Inc., and two other entities,
as  lessor.  (See Note 10 to the financial statements.) In consideration for its
guarantee,  the  Trust will receive an annualized fee equal to 4% of the average
guarantee  amount  outstanding  during each quarterly period. Accrued but unpaid
fees  will accrue and compound interest quarterly at an annualized interest rate
of  7.5%  until  paid.  During  the  six  months  ended June 30, 2001, the Trust
recognized income of $9,719 related to the guarantee fee.  During the six months
ended  June  30,  2000,  the  Trust  received an upfront cash fee of $35,000 and
recognized  total  income  of  $41,172  from the guarantee. The guarantee fee is
reflected  as  Other  Income  on  the  accompanying  Statement  of  Operations.

Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was
$24,396  and  $50,614,  respectively,  compared  to  $48,467  and  $137,931,
respectively,  for  the same periods in 2000.  For financial reporting purposes,
to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Trust depreciates
the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual
value  of  the  asset  on a straight-line basis over such term.  For purposes of
this  policy,  estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values
at  the  date  of primary lease expiration.  To the extent that an asset is held
beyond  its  primary lease term, the Trust continues to depreciate the remaining
net  book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining
economic  life.

Interest  expense  was  $1,299  and $11,321, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to $11,800 and $23,758, respectively,
for the same periods in 2000.  Interest expense will continue to decrease in the
future  as  the  principal  balance  of  the note payable is reduced through the
application  of  rent  receipts  to  outstanding  debt.

Management  fees  related  to  equipment  leasing  were  $6,878  and  $11,020,
respectively,  for  the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared
to  $12,452 and $22,856, respectively, for the same periods in 2000.  Management
fees are based on 5% of gross lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2%
of  gross  lease  revenue  generated  by  full payout leases, subject to certain
limitations.  In  addition,  management  fees include a fee of 1% of the cost of
the  MILPI  interests.

Operating  expenses  were $193,437 and $352,364, respectively, for the three and
six  month  periods  ended  June  30,  2001  compared  to $129,912 and $191,243,
respectively,  for  the  same  periods  in  2000.  In  2001,  operating expenses
included  approximately  $40,000  for ongoing legal matters.  Operating expenses
also  included  approximately  $31,000 of costs reimbursed to EFG as a result of
the  successful  acquisition  of  the  PLM common stock by MILPI Acquisition and
approximately  $56,000  of  costs related to the re-lease of an aircraft in June
2001.    In conjunction with the acquisition of the PLM common stock, EFG became
entitled  to  recover  certain  out  of  pocket expenses which it had previously
incurred.  Other operating expenses consist primarily of administrative charges,
professional  service  costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution  and  remarketing expenses. The amount of future operating expenses
cannot  be  predicted  with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher
during  the  acquisition  and liquidation phases of a trust.  Other fluctuations
typically  occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities.

At  March 31, 2001, the Trust determined that the decline in the market value of
its  Semele  Group  Inc. ("Semele") common stock was other than temporary.  As a
result,  the Trust wrote down the cost of the Semele common stock to $3.3125 per
share (the quoted price of the Semele stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market on the
date  the  stock traded closest to March 31, 2001), for a total realized loss in
the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2001  of  $17,037.

During  the  three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recorded income
of  $21,082  and  $32,370,  respectively,  from its ownership interest in MILPI.
This  income  represents  the  Trust's share of the net income of MILPI recorded
under  the  equity  method of accounting.  The Trust recorded $3,742 and $4,556,
respectively,  of  amortization  expense for the three and six months ended June
30,  2001, which related to the goodwill recorded at the time of the acquisition
of  the  PLM  common  stock  by  MILPI Acquisition. (See Note 7 to the financial
statements.)


Real  Estate
------------

Management  fees for non-equipment assets were $8,024 and $13,748, respectively,
for  the  three  and  six  months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $155 and $798,
respectively,  for  the  same periods in 2000. Management fees for non-equipment
assets,  excluding  cash,  are  1%  of  such  assets  under  management.

For  the  three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust recorded a loss of
$134,626  and  income  of $206,195, respectively, from its ownership interest in
EFG  Kirkwood. This income (loss) represents the Trust's share of the net income
(loss)  of  EFG  Kirkwood recorded under the equity method of accounting. Due to
the  seasonal  nature of EFG Kirkwood's operations, the financial results of the
three  and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 may not be indicative of future
periods  (See  Note  6  to  the  financial  statements).

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  and  Discussion  of  Cash  Flows
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The  Trust  by  its  nature  is  a  limited  life entity.  The Trust's principal
operating  activities  derive  from asset rental transactions.  Accordingly, the
Trust's  principal  source of cash from operations is provided by the collection
of  periodic  rents.  These  cash  inflows  are  used  to  satisfy  debt service
obligations  associated  with  leveraged  leases, and to pay management fees and
operating  costs.  Operating  activities generated net cash outflows of $108,641
and  net  cash  inflows  of  $255,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000,  respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will
cause  a  decline  in  the  Trust's  lease  revenue and corresponding sources of
operating  cash.  Expenses associated with rental activities, such as management
fees,  also  will  decline  as the Trust remarkets its equipment.  The amount of
future interest income is expected to fluctuate as a result of changing interest
rates  and  the  level  of  cash  available for investment, among other factors.

At  lease  inception,  the  Trust's  equipment  was  leased  by  a  number  of
creditworthy,  investment-grade  companies  and,  to  date,  the  Trust  has not
experienced any material collection problems and has not considered it necessary
to  provide  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.  Notwithstanding a positive
collection  history, there is no assurance that all future contracted rents will
be  collected  or  that  the  credit  quality  of  the  Trust's  leases  will be
maintained.  The credit quality of an individual lease may deteriorate after the
lease  is  entered  into.  Collection  risk  could  increase  in  the  future,
particularly as the Trust remarkets its equipment and enters re-lease agreements
with  different  lessees.  The  Managing  Trustee  will continue to evaluate and
monitor  the  Trust's  experience in collecting accounts receivable to determine
whether  a  future  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  may  become appropriate.

At  June  30, 2001, the Trust was due aggregate future minimum lease payments of
$578,984  from  contractual  lease  agreements  (see  Note  3  to  the financial
statements),  a  portion of which will be used to amortize the principal balance
of  notes  payable  of  $471,038  (see  Note  9  to  the  financial statements).
Additional  cash  inflows  will  be realized from future remarketing activities,
such  as  lease  renewals  and  equipment  sales, the timing and extent of which
cannot  be  predicted  with certainty.  This is because the timing and extent of
equipment  sales is often dependent upon the needs and interests of the existing
lessees.  Some  lessees  may choose to renew their lease contracts, while others
may elect to return the equipment.  In the latter instances, the equipment could
be  re-leased  to  another lessee or sold to a third party.  Accordingly, as the
Trust  matures and a greater level of its equipment assets becomes available for
remarketing,  the  cash  flows  of  the  Trust  will  become  less  predictable.

Cash  expended  for  asset  acquisitions  and  cash realized from asset disposal
transactions  are  reported  under  investing  activities  on  the  accompanying
Statement  of  Cash  Flows.

In  December  2000,  the  Trust  and  three affiliated Trusts (collectively, the
"Trusts")  formed  MILPI,  which  formed  MILPI  Acquisition,  a  wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  MILPI.  The  Trusts  collectively  paid  $1.2  million for their
membership  interests  in  MILPI  and  MILPI  purchased  the  shares  of  MILPI
Acquisition  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price of $1.2 million at December 31,
2000.  MILPI  Acquisition  entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement")
with  PLM, an equipment leasing and asset management company, for the purpose of
acquiring  up to 100% of the outstanding common stock of PLM, for an approximate
purchase  price  of $27 million. In connection with the acquisition, on December
29,  2000, MILPI Acquisition commenced a tender offer to purchase any and all of
PLM's  outstanding  common  stock.

Pursuant  to the cash tender offer, MILPI Acquisition acquired approximately 83%
of  the  PLM  common  stock  in  February  2001  for  a  total purchase price of
approximately $21.7 million. Under the terms of the Agreement, with the approval
of  the  holders  of  50.1%  of  the  outstanding  common  stock  of  PLM, MILPI
Acquisition  will merge into PLM, with PLM being the surviving entity. PLM filed
a  proxy  statement  with  the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
February 9, 2001 for a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the merger
proposal.  Because  MILPI  Acquisition  owns approximately 83% of the PLM common
stock,  its  vote alone would be sufficient to assure the approval of the merger
proposal  at  the special meeting and MILPI has agreed to vote all of its shares
in  favor  of the merger proposal. Once the merger is approved, the Trusts would
then  jointly own 100% of the outstanding common stock of PLM through their 100%
interest  in  MILPI.  However, completion of the SEC staff's review of the proxy
statement  for  approval  of the merger is dependent in part on the satisfactory
resolution  of  the  Trust's  discussions  with the staff regarding its possible
status  as  an  inadvertent  investment  company. If the merger is approved, the
Trusts  may  be  required  to  provide an additional $4.4 million to acquire the
remaining  approximate  17%  of  PLM's  outstanding  common  stock.


                                       21
<PAGE>
The  Trust  has  a  10%  membership interest in MILPI having an original cost of
$2,274,348.  The  cost  of  the  Trust's  interest  in  MILPI  reflects  MILPI
Acquisition's  cost  of  acquiring the common stock of PLM, including the amount
paid  for  the  shares  tendered  of  $2,177,572, a 1% acquisition fee paid to a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Semele of $21,776 and capitalized transaction costs
of  $75,000.  The  capitalized transaction costs will be reimbursed by the Trust
to  MILPI  and  are  included  in  Accrued  Liabilities  -  Affiliates  on  the
accompanying Statement of Financial Position at June 30, 2001.  During the three
months ended June 30, 2001, the Trusts obtained additional information to refine
the estimate of fair values of the underlying net assets as of February 9, 2001.
The  Trust's  cost  basis  in  its  interest in MILPI was approximately $105,000
greater  than  its  equity  interest  in  the  underlying net assets of MILPI at
February  9,  2001.  This difference is being amortized over a period of 7 years
beginning  March  1,  2001.  The  amount  amortized  is included as an offset to
Interest  in MILPI and was $4,556 during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
Trust's  ownership  interest  in  MILPI is accounted for on the equity method as
discussed  above.

Equis  II  Corporation  has  voting  control of the Trusts and owns the Managing
Trustee  of  the  Trusts.  Semele  owns  Equis II Corporation. Mr. Engle and Mr.
Coyne,  who  are  a director and an officer of the Trust, respectively, are also
officers  and  directors  of, and own significant stock in, Semele. In addition,
Mr.  Engle  and  Mr.  Coyne  are  officers  and  directors of MILPI Acquisition.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the Trust expended $155,189 for
its  interest  in  EFG  Kirkwood  (see  Note  6 to the financial statements) and
$14,300  on other investments.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2001,
the  Trust  realized  net  cash  proceeds  from  equipment  disposals of $73,235
compared  to  $1,497,820  for  the  same  period in 2000. Sales proceeds in 2000
include  $1,400,000  related  to the sale of the Trust's SAAB SF340A aircraft in
May 2000, formerly leased to Comair, Inc.  Future inflows of cash from equipment
disposals  will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors
including,  but  not  limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations,
the  type  of  equipment  being  sold,  its condition and age, and future market
conditions.  The  Trust  also  realized  proceeds  from  the  sale of investment
securities  of  $53,652  during  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000.

The  Trust  has  an  ownership interest in EFG Kirkwood. EFG Kirkwood is a joint
venture  among the Trust, certain affiliated Trusts and Semele Group Inc. and is
managed by AFG ASIT Corporation. EFG Kirkwood is a member in two joint ventures,
Mountain Resort Holdings LLC ("Mountain Resort") and Mountain Springs Resort LLC
("Mountain  Springs").  See  Note  6  to  the  financial  statements.

Mountain  Resort,  through four wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates the
Kirkwood  Mountain Resort, a ski resort located in northern California, a public
utility that services the local community, and land that is held for residential
and commercial development. Mountain Springs, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
owns  a  controlling  interest in the Purgatory Ski resort in Durango, Colorado.

The risks generally associated with real estate include, without limitation, the
existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties, general or local
economic  conditions,  property  values, the sale of properties, interest rates,
real  estate  taxes,  other  operating  expenses,  the  supply  and  demand  for
properties  involved,  zoning  and environmental laws and regulations, and other
governmental  rules.

The  Trust's  involvement  in  real estate development also introduces financial
risks,  including  the potential need to borrow funds to develop the real estate
projects.  While  the  Trust's management presently does not foresee any unusual
risks  in  this  regard,  it  is possible that factors beyond the control of the
Trust,  its  affiliates  and joint venture partners, such as a tightening credit
environment,  could  limit  or  reduce  its  ability  to  secure adequate credit
facilities at a time when they might be needed in the future. Alternatively, the
Trust  could  establish joint ventures with other parties to share participation
in  its  development  projects.

Ski  resorts  are subject to a number of risks, including weather-related risks.
The  ski  resort business is seasonal in nature and insufficient snow during the
winter  season  can  adversely  effect the profitability of a given resort. Many
operators  of  ski resorts have greater resources and experience in the industry
than  the  Trust,  its  affiliates  and  its  joint  venture  partners.

Recent  changes  in  economic  condition  of the airline industry have adversely
affected  the  demand  for and market values for commercial jet aircraft.  These
changes  could  adversely  affect  the  operations of the Trust and the residual
value of the commercial jet aircraft.  Currently, the commercial jet aircraft in
which  the  Trust  has  a  proportionate  ownership  interest  is  subject  to a
contracted  lease  agreement.

                                       22

As  a  result  of  an  exchange transaction in 1997, the Trust is the beneficial
owner of 20,969 shares of Semele common stock and holds a beneficial interest in
the Semele Note of $462,353.  The Semele Note matures in April 2003 and bears an
annual  interest  rate  of  10%  with  mandatory  principal  reductions prior to
maturity, if and to the extent that net proceeds are received by Semele from the
sale  or  refinancing  of  its  principal  real  estate  asset  consisting of an
undeveloped  274-acre  parcel  of  land  near  Malibu,  California.

In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity  Securities",  marketable  equity  securities  classified  as
available-for-sale  are  carried  at  fair  value.  At March 31, 2001, the Trust
determined  that  the decline in the market value of its Semele common stock was
other  than temporary.  As a result, the Trust wrote down the cost of the Semele
common stock resulting in a total realized loss in the six months ended June 30,
2001  of  $17,037.  See  Results  of  Operations.

During  the  three  months ended June 30, 2001, the Trust decreased the carrying
value  of  its  investment in Semele common stock to $3.00 per share (the quoted
price  of  the  Semele stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market on the date the stock
traded  closest  to  June  30, 2001), resulting in an unrealized loss of $6,553.
This loss was reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss) included in
the  Statement  of  Changes  in  Participants'  Capital.

The  Semele  Note  and  the Semele common stock are subject to a number of risks
including,  Semele's  ability  to make loan payments which is dependent upon the
liquidity  of  Semele  and  primarily  Semele's ability to sell or refinance its
principal real estate asset consisting of an undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land
near  Malibu,  California.  The market value of the Trust's investment in Semele
common  stock  has  generally  declined  since the Trust's initial investment in
1997.  In  1998,  the  General Partner determined that the decline in the market
value  of  the  stock  was other than temporary and wrote down the Partnership's
investment.   Again  in  the  three  months  ended  March  31, 2001, the General
Partner made the same determination and wrote down the Partnership's investment.
Subsequently,  the  market  value of the Semele common stock has fluctuated. The
market  value of the stock could decline in the future. Gary D. Engle, President
and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of EFG and a Director of the Managing Trustee is
Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer of Semele and James A. Coyne, Executive
Vice  President  of  EFG is Semele's President and Chief Operating Officer.  Mr.
Engle  and  Mr.  Coyne  are  both  members of the Board of Directors of, and own
significant  stock  in,  Semele.

The  Trust  obtained  long-term  financing  in connection with certain equipment
leases.  The  origination  of such indebtedness and the subsequent repayments of
principal are reported as components of financing activities on the accompanying
Statement  of  Cash  Flows.  At June 30, 2001, the Trust had one debt obligation
outstanding  pertaining  to  its  ownership  interest  in  an aircraft leased to
Aerovias  de  Mexico  S.A.,  de  C.V.  The  note  will be fully amortized by the
contracted lease payments at the expiration of the lease agreement in June 2005.

In  June  2001,  the  Trust  and  certain  affiliated  investment  programs
(collectively,  the  "Reno  Programs")  executed  an agreement with the existing
lessee,  Reno  Air,  Inc.  ("Reno"), to early terminate the lease of a McDonnell
Douglas  MD-87  aircraft  that  had  been  scheduled  to expire in January 2003.
Coincident with the termination of the Reno lease, the aircraft was re-leased to
Aerovias  de  Mexico,  S.A.  de  C.V. for a term of four years.  (See Results of
Operations).  The  Reno  Programs  executed  a  debt agreement with a new lender
collateralized by the aircraft and assignment of the Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de
C.V. lease payments.  The Reno Programs received debt proceeds of $5,316,482, of
which  the Trust's share was $471,038.  The Trust used the new debt proceeds and
a  portion  of certain other receipts from Reno to repay the outstanding balance
of  the  existing  indebtedness  related to the aircraft of $493,137 and accrued
interest  and fees of $7,347.  The new indebtedness bears a fluctuating interest
rate  based  on  LIBOR  (approximately  4.73%  at  June  30,  2001)  plus  2.3%.

The  Managing  Trustee  has  evaluated  and  pursued  a  number of potential new
acquisitions, several of which the Managing Trustee concluded had market returns
that  it  believed  were  less  than  adequate  given the potential risks.  Most
transactions  involved  the  equipment leasing, business finance and real estate
development  industries.  Although  the  Managing Trustee intends to continue to
evaluate  additional new investments, it anticipates that the Trust will be able
to  fund  these  new investments with cash on hand or other sources, such as the
proceeds  from  future  asset  sales or refinancings and new indebtedness.  As a
result, the Trust declared a special cash distribution during the fourth quarter
of  1999  to  the  Trust  Beneficiaries  totaling  $3,900,000, which was paid on
January  19,  2000.

                                       23
<PAGE>
After  the  special  distribution  on  January 19, 2000, the Trust adopted a new
distribution  policy  and  suspended  the  payment  of  regular  monthly  cash
distributions.  Looking  forward, the Managing Trustee presently does not expect
to  reinstate  cash  distributions  until expiration of the Trust's reinvestment
period  in  December  2001.  In  addition  to  maintaining  sale  proceeds  for
reinvestment,  the Managing Trustee expects that the Trust will retain cash from
operations  for  the  continued maintenance of the Trust's assets.  The Managing
Trustee  believes  that  this  change  in policy is in the best interests of the
Trust  over  the  long  term.

Historically,  cash  distributions  to  the  Managing  Trustee,  the  Special
Beneficiary and the Beneficiaries had been declared and generally paid within 45
days  following  the  end  of  each  calendar month.  No cash distributions were
declared for either of the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 or 2000. In any
given  year,  it is possible that Beneficiaries will be allocated taxable income
in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash
distributions  may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be
available  for  distribution  to  the  Beneficiaries  adequate  to cover any tax
obligation.  The  Trust Agreement requires that sufficient distributions be made
to  enable  the  Beneficiaries to pay any state and federal income taxes arising
from  any  sale  or  refinancing  transactions,  subject to certain limitations.

Cash  distributions  when  paid  to the Participants generally consist of both a
return  of  and a return on capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are
not  indicative  of  yield  on  investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined  with  any  certainty  until  conclusion  of  the  Trust  and will be
dependent  upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, the residual value realized for each asset at its
disposal  date,  and the performance of the Trust's non-equipment assets. Future
market  conditions,  technological  changes,  the  ability  of EFG to manage and
remarket  the  equipment, and many other events and circumstances, could enhance
or  detract from individual yields and the collective performance of the Trust's
equipment  portfolio.  The ability of the Managing Trustee and its affiliates to
develop  and  profitably manage its real estate assets and its interest in MILPI
will  impact  the  Trust's  overall  performance.

In  the  future,  the  nature of the Trust's operations and principal cash flows
will  continue to shift from rental receipts to equipment sale proceeds. As this
occurs,  the  Trust's cash flows resulting from equipment investments may become
more  volatile  in  that certain of the Trust's equipment leases will be renewed
and  certain  of  its  assets  will  be  sold.  In  some cases, the Trust may be
required  to  expend funds to refurbish or otherwise improve the equipment being
remarketed  in  order  to  make  it  more  desirable  to  a  potential lessee or
purchaser.  The  Trust's  Advisor, EFG, and the Managing Trustee will attempt to
monitor  and  manage these events in order to maximize the residual value of the
Trust's equipment and will consider these factors, in addition to new investment
activities,  the  collection  of  contractual rents, the retirement of scheduled
indebtedness,  and  the  Trust's  future  working  capital  requirements,  in
establishing  the  amount  and  timing  of  future  cash  distributions.

In  accordance  with the Trust Agreement, upon the dissolution of the Trust, the
Managing  Trustee will be required to contribute to the Trust an amount equal to
any  negative  balance,  which  may  exist in the Managing Trustee's tax capital
account.  At  December 31, 2000, the Managing Trustee had a positive tax capital
account  balance.  No  such  requirement  exists  with  respect  to  the Special
Beneficiary.
